The stand of the Engineering Industry Union of the Slovak Republic attracted great attention from visitors. This year two member companies of the Union also exhibited in it: M-D-J, spol. s.r.o. and NORTHON s.r.o.. Both companies earned recognition for their innovations and the high quality of their products. Visitors had the opportunity to get acquainted in detail with their latest products and technologies, while experts from both companies provided expert consultations and presentations.
